Verification
Add a verification badge that verifies the users face like bumble & tinder have. It will get rid of bots & the fake people using others profile pictures.

It would help combat profiles that are fakes that just want to fish people or who wish to do lgbtq people harm using fake accounts that aren't verified so that they can cause people harm.

Also a way to verify the actual or selected date of birth ensuring that the users are the appropriate age since this app has access to send private photos that could contain nudity.

I am just absolutely tired of these fake or flake profiles and those asking you to buy a $50 google card for them and provide the number. Most say they are from the states. I have been told getting an XTRA level will not change the level of the Fakes messaging ones account. I turned off my phone and woke up to three flake messages and an invite to another site that happens numerous times a day for the same sites. People saying they are near me when the mileage clearly says they are over any reasonable distance, including people from the UK. You need to verify accounts using a creditcard or verification system like calling the cell phone with an ID number or sending an email with a code number even use a credit card number or photo ID which is what is required for some online services and program or apps. But you need to fix it if people leave because of these fakes and flakes along with other false profile I may have to give up

The amount of fake profiles is increasing dramatically. My photos are being used. Grindr doesn't do anything to improve their app security! Until when?

How does it so long? Is there any progress on this feature?
User's safety should not have been a question at all. -

So important. Waiting for this to be activated, so I can approach only verified profiles.

People need to take Safty into their own hands, not relying on the app or a website to keep them safe. People should meet at a restaurant or a club or something and if the person doesn’t feel right don’t go out with them

In Argentina I already sae over 15 cases of people that suffered abuse, theft and got drugged by a person that wasn’t able to identify because all of their grindr info was fake. Besides the usual photo stealing.

Please can you make this happen. You don’t understand how important this is. Grindr not having this is basically allowing harm to people.

Adam4adam has verification and it’s good to know that whoever you talking to is actual person in profile pic.

I get catphished more often than I talk to real people in a given day on grindr. It would be super easy for you to add a validation option badge and then I could simply ignore people who don't want to validate. Real people are always happy to validate. I don't have time for 20 people to catphish me every day. I want to meet real people!🙏🥺 these people are malicious and they block me as soon as I ask for validation. It wastes more than half of my time on the app and seriously deteriorates my experience.

This is more important than anything else on Grindr and it needs to happen ASAP. Too many fake people on here, and the scary part is some of them actually want to meetup knowing they are not who they say they are. Grindr please do this ASAP

Yes, we badly need a Verification badge on this site's profiles. I myself have been clicked by anon profiles - actually using photo of someone I know - 200 miles away!

Make all users verify their identity using a state ID. Don't make that info public just use it for verification purposes. This eliminates spammers completely, and if a hookup God forbid turns into a sexual assault or a robbery, then the assailant can be more easily tracked down and prosecuted. But no user will directly be able to identify another user. Just grindr and law enforcement if it comes down to that.
